Thomas

Interesting analysis. I guess your point is that manufacturing tolerances are so sloppy and variable from piston to piston that we could be getting anything from 8.5 to 9.5 pistons when...

Just to be clear, I have an O-360. It will absolutely not run LOP without running rough. That being said, with healthy ROP (19.5 gal/hr) flows on takeoff detonation margins are increased. I find...

The Mooney discussion about the SI involving the impulse coupling change out is news to me. Frankly, nothing was mentioned about the parts exchange in the L mag.

Hi all,

Recently had my conditional inspection by my local AP/IA. He called and asked whether the mag timing should be set at 25 degree's or 20 degree's. I have an ECI 0-360 A1A with 9:1 pistons...

My oil consumption was about a quart every 2 hours. For low compression engines that would be acceptable but I have 9.5:1 cylinders. I was a bit concerned about narrowing margins with...

I usually try to keep between 6 and 7 but I did bump it to about 7.5 quarts. I wouldn't think that 7 or even 8 quarts would show up in the cylinders. It would show on the belly?
